  • Title: Synthesis and characterization of high concentration block copolymer-mediated gold nanoparticles.
    Author: Ray D, Aswal VK, Kohlbrecher J.
    Journal: Langmuir; 2011 Apr 05; 27(7):4048-56. PubMed ID: 21366279.
    Abstract:
    The formation of high concentration gold nanoparticles at room temperature is reported in block copolymer-mediated synthesis where the nanoparticles have been synthesized from hydrogen tetrachloroaureate(III) hydrate (HAuCl(4)·3H(2)O) using block copolymer P85 (EO(26)PO(39)EO(26)) in aqueous solution. The formation of gold nanoparticles in these systems has been characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). We show that the presence of additional reductant (trisodium citrate) can enhance nanoparticle concentration by manyfold, which does not work in the absence of either of these (additional reductant and block copolymer). The stability of gold nanoparticles with increasing concentration has also been examined.
